The seminar was a very good experience: new ideas and strategies to improve in every sense as a professional. I had tried some of them using my intuition, but Pritam gave me the tools to make them effective and the tips to correct what I did in the wrong way. Everything was clear and well structured. Thank you to Pritam and thank you ProZ Team!
